Norton Rixson 1351 693 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Norton Rixson 1351 gate closer handle a 250 lb ornamental iron gate?
250 lbs is exactly the ceiling on the Model 1351, and the gate also has to stay within 4 ft 6 in by 10 ft 0 in. A gate at or under both of those works. Go over either one, on weight or on leaf size, and this is the wrong closer. Weigh the leaf before you order if it's heavy ornamental iron with infill panels, because solid pickets add up fast.
2) Can the Rixson 1351 hold a gate open?
No hold open on the 1351. It's a single-acting closer that returns the gate to the latch every time. If your site needs the gate parked open for deliveries or landscaping crews, you'll need a separate hold-open device or a drop rod, because the closer won't do it. What you can adjust is how it closes: latch speed, closing speed, and backcheck are all field adjustable.
3) Does the Norton Rixson 1351 gate closer work on a gate that swings both directions?
Single acting only. The 1351 controls a gate swinging one way, so a double-acting gate that pushes in and out is outside what it does. Check the swing on the existing hinges before ordering.
4) Is the Rixson 1351 rated for a busy gate that gets used all day?
Light duty, low traffic. The 1351 is built for a residential entry gate or a campus side gate that sees intermittent pedestrian use, not a main entrance cycling all day. On a high-cycle opening you want a heavy duty door control instead, because a light duty closer on constant traffic wears out early.
5) How does a gate closer mount on an ornamental iron gate with no solid face?
That's the reason the 1351 exists. It mounts to the cross-member or to the spokes of the gate, so an open picket or scroll gate with no flat panel still gives you something to fasten to. It ships as a package: closer body, mounting bracket, arm, and slide track. Fasteners suited to the gate material are on you, since iron gates get through-bolted or welded depending on how they're built.
6) What else do I need to order to lock a gate that has a Rixson 1351 closer on it?
The 1351 closes the gate, it does not secure it. You still need a gate lock and a keeper. From the gate hardware ZenSupply carries, the Locinox LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock with handle covers the lock side, and it ships less mortise cylinder so you supply a cylinder to match your keying. On the frame side the Locinox SHKL-9005-QF2K security keeper with Quick-Fix mounting gives you an adjustable strike, with an aluminum version, the SH-KL-ALUM-QF2K, as the other option.
7) Will a Locinox LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock close a gate on its own, or is a separate closer still needed?
The LUKY surface mounted swing gate lock with handle is a locking device for a swing gate, and it does not pull a gate shut. It secures the gate once the gate is already in the closed position. Controlled closing is a separate job handled by a gate closer such as the Norton Rixson Model 1351, a single acting exterior gate closer rated for gates up to 250 lbs with adjustable latch speed, closing speed, and backcheck. On an ornamental iron gate that needs to both self close and lock, the two pieces are installed together: the closer on the cross member or spokes to control the swing, the lock at the latch side to hold it. Note that the LUKY ships less mortise cylinder, so the cylinder is ordered separately.
8) Will a Rixson 1351 gate closer survive outdoors year round?
It's built for exterior service: all-weather fluid is standard and the components are rust resistant, which matters because a closer with standard hydraulic fluid slows to a crawl in cold weather. The slide track uses a pass-through hole so leaves, grit, and road salt fall out instead of packing into the channel. Mount it where water can drain away rather than pool in the track.
9) Can I get the gate to latch reliably in the wind with a Rixson 1351?
Latch speed is a separate adjustment from the main closing speed on the 1351, so you can slow the sweep down and still give the last few inches enough push to drive the gate into the keeper. Backcheck is adjustable too, which cushions the swing when wind catches an open gate and throws it back. Set all three on site after the gate is hung and swinging free.
10) Can I standardize the same gate closer across several gates on a property?
The 1351 is a single model in one finish with no options to specify, so every gate on the property gets an identical unit and identical adjustment procedure. The limit that varies is the gate itself: each leaf has to come in at or under 250 lbs and 4 ft 6 in by 10 ft 0 in, and each has to be single acting. Any gate on the site that swings both ways or exceeds the size needs a different device.
11) A gate is not latching reliably on the return swing. Is the fix a security keeper or a gate closer?
It depends on which half of the motion is failing. A Locinox SHKL-9005-QF2K security keeper with Quick-Fix mounting, or the aluminum SH-KL-ALUM-QF2K Secura keeper, is the receiving hardware at the latch post that the gate closes into. Those address how the gate is captured and held once it arrives. If the gate is arriving too slowly, too fast, or slamming into the post, that is closing motion, and the Norton Rixson Model 1351 controls it directly through adjustable latch speed, closing speed, and backcheck. Gates up to 250 lbs and 4 ft 6 in by 10 ft 0 in fall within the 1351 range. A gate that does not swing fully home needs the closer adjusted; a gate that swings home but does not stay is a keeper question.
12) For a perimeter iron gate that has to self close and resist tampering at the latch, what hardware covers both?
Two different parts, because no single item does both. The Norton Rixson Model 1351 is the closing side: a commercial, single acting exterior gate closer for ornamental iron gates, supplied with closer body, mounting bracket, arm, and slide track, in a 693 flat black finish, with all weather fluid and rust resistant components for outdoor exposure. Tamper resistance at the strike side comes from keep hardware such as the Locinox SHIELD-SH-9005 anti theft protection plate, which fits Standard SA and Modulec SA keeps and shields the keep itself. The 1351 has no hold open feature, so the gate returns closed on every cycle and the keep hardware sees the gate every time. Specify both when the opening needs controlled closing and a protected keep.
13) What finish does the Norton Rixson 1351 come in?
One finish only: 693 flat black. That's the standard match for ornamental iron, which is almost always painted black, so the closer body and track disappear against the gate rather than reading as an add-on. There is no other finish choice on the 1351, so if the gate is a bronze or powder-coated color you're either living with black or painting the closer.
